    Ok, so about a month ago, had my lift installed and just to clarify, I am in no way disappointed with it. That being said, I do want to make the truck a little more versatile and well...more fun to play with. I swore I'd never do any offroading, but now I do want to change direction somewhat. I'm going to remove my spacer and block lift and shocks and go with a decent coilover/shock/uca combo. I want to keep my 3/1 level stance however. Would shackles be the way to go in the rear? Just looking to you gurus on here to steer me In the right direction. Anyone have a preference on a good combo like that, that could be a good on road, weekend warrior trip In the backwoods type setup. Thanks in advance guys!

    I have @Toytec Lifts Boss kit. 3" on the front (coilovers not struts), SPC UCA and shackles in the rear. I wanted to keep factory rake and not level, nor 3/1. David can steer you in the right direction.

    Go with a good Mid Travel setup - King, Fox or ADS coilovers and shackle in the rear. Best setup for the money and bombproof. Will give you 2.5-3in up front and inch in the rear. Do it correct the first time - buy once/cry once.

    Amen to that. Glad I didn't go super expensive on the lift. I see coahbuilder is pretty popular round here. That be your suggestion on shackles?

    A little of this and a little of that.
    I’d go w/ @Toytec Lifts Boss or Radflo. Save yourself some coin and still have a great system

    I just got the Toytec Boss Suspension system with shackles and SPC adjustable UCAs. I called and talked to them and told them what i was looking for what i planned on doing with the truck and they helped me get the best fit. I'll be putting it on as soon as my wheels come in....
